I'm probably going to try valve seals over spring break. Motor has no blowby that I can tell, but oil usage has gotten bad enough that there is oil dripping out of the ehaust manifold at nearly every gasket

You can try the valve seals now, they're not but about $70, and you can either rent a spring compressor from an auto parts store or get one from Geno's Garage for about $30. They take just two or three hours to do.
